Death by Eye Jewellery

About the Book

Craig, a wealthy businessman with questionable practices, surreptitiously accompanies his accountant, Bethany, on an ocean cruise. He has desires for her, and ambitions of getting to know her better.

On-board the cruise ship, romance does indeed bloom, between both alike and unlike couples. One romance is built on abundance and opulence whilst another is more down to earth, built on the couple enjoying an array of public ship activities.

A jacket, a corpse, and a coat hanger made out of platinum — what could the relationship be? Who would make a coat hanger out of platinum anyway? Surely taking it on an ocean cruise is an opulence that borders on the bizarre, an extravagance that unnecessarily raises attention!

When the coat hanger goes missing, almost everyone on-board is a suspect, but when it is found, the dire circumstance of its discovery adds extreme urgency to now finding a murderer.

This story attempts to realistically portray the cruise experiences of an antithetical mix of people, both passengers and crew. Everyone experiences life uniquely and this carries into his or her cruise experience. Join me to see the experiences unveiled through their senses, their feelings, and their actions.
